The WalkerLake Bulletin believes
not only in protecting manufactures
from the cheap labor Of Europe, but
also in protecting Americans from
the pauper invasion of the Old
World. Referring to the part the
Republican party of Nevada is to
take in the coming struggle 1t
says:
No party is organized to serve
the purposes of3candidates. No party
can exist which can show no higher
aim than the election OF one or more
men. The Republican party OF the
State fully recognizing that it is
means to the accomplishment OF an
end, which end is the greatest good
for all, will allow all individual pre-
ferences to fall before the question
OF how best to serve the people tor
whose benefit it was organized, ana
for whose benefit the organization is
maintained Protection isitsvltal prin-
ciple. Protection of life, liberty and
labor. The claims of all candidates
are subservient to the claims OF the
principles of the party. Recognlz-
ing the true direction of its mission,
it will pronounce not only in favor
of American manufactures but also
in favor of the protection OF the
American laborer. Believing that
there are enough people ~ this
country it will call for a restriction
OF immigration and for repeal OF
all laws which have a tendency to
induce n continuance of the tide Of
immigrants now flowing from Eu-
rope.
IT will rot lay before the people
half way measures SO formulated
that they can be used to eaten
votes and ignored after election. IL
will place plank OF protection IN
it's platform and its candidates VIII
stand there even after the election.
1T will not make promises the iul-
fillment Of which will be barren
but will say TO the Country eve
will protect those who are here
and will point out the manner II
which such protection shall be &C
complished.
There will be no empty talk bu
meaning language in its cali Tor sup
port from tie workingmen. Ih'
Republicans of Nevada will say
there are enough here we vii
close the gates and the people vii
understand and endorse thei

Give Them n Chance

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
you breathing machinery. Very wonder
full machinery it is. Not only the larger
air passages, but the thousands of little
tubes and cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be there,
your lungs cannot do half their work.
A nd what they do, they cannot do well
Call it cold, cough, Group, Pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption, or any of the fam
lily of throat and nose and head and lung
distractions, all are bad. All ought to
be got rid of. There is Just one sure way
to get rid of them. That is to take
Boschee's German Syrup, which any
druggist will sell you at IS cents a bottle.
Even if everything else has failed you
you may depend upon this for certain.

Professor Elisha Gray, of telephone
tame, is perfecting an invention with won
dcrful possibilities, and one which prom
ises great results. 1t has already reached
that stage which insures its practical sue
cess, the experiments thus far proving
eminently satisfactory. The 'ttelauto-
graph is the name by which the instru
ment will be known, which, by the way,
conveys a very fair idea of what the in
strument really is. Once in operation it
will be possible for the Chicago Spectator
to deliver to the New York broker a telau-
Geographic order to buy or sell 1000 or TO-
900 shares of railroad stock, an exact fac
simile of the order being reproduced in
that city at the same instant it Is written
here. II the Chicago man happens to be
in New York and wants to send his wife
a check for money he simply writes it out
in that city, and the moment he is through
it is in his wife's hands here. The cleo
trio current, of course, is an important
fnctor in the invention, out the chief feat
ure is the plate or instrument on which
the writing is lone. No particular kind
of pen or pencil has to be used; in fact, a
sharp pointed instrument of any kind, or
even a piece of wood, will answer the pur-
pose. The paper on which the writing is
lone and the autograph reproduced does
not have to be prepared, for in the first in
stance 1t is the pressure on the plate
which gives the impulse to the machine,
while the reproduction is brought about
by Il tracing point, which may be a
properly linked pen or even an ordinary
lead pencil attached to u movable arm in
the receiving machine at the other end of
the line.-Chicago Tribune.

Men put down their papers and looked
out of the windows. T~ing-a-ling, ting-a-
ling. The rope was moving through the
long train of cars. Down went the
brakes. The train stopped. The passen-
gers thought the bell had rung for dam
ger" Every one was much alarmed.
The men hurried out. The ladies leaned
out of the windows to look. But there
was nothing to be seen. The train seemed
to be all right.
The brakeman ran down the track.
There was nothing wrong on the track.
Some of the brakemen went into the
baggage car. Then they found out why
the bell rang.
There was q monkey in the baggage
car. He had come from India in a ship.
he was on the way to a gentleman who
had bought him.
In his old home in the forest he used
to Irvine his tail around the branches and
rock and swing.
He sat on a trunk in the baggage car.
He thought this was a very dull way to
spend his time. He wished to play as he
did at home.
Soon he spied the bell wire. This bell
wire rum through the train at the top of
cars. He twined his tail round the wire
and rocked and swung. He enjoyed it
very much.
That was the way the bell was rung.
The brakemen laughed.
They did not scold the queer little bell
ringer.-Primary.

INVASION OF THE SEA.
Shores Where the Waves Fight Unsoas-
IngIy for Dominion.

ohoNoh ~ IhNtb ElkhL OnocAB-
IngIy for Dominion.
There are portions of the land along
the sea coast where the waves are al
ways fighting for dominion. The wear
ing away of the earth is very rapid unless
these places are protected by artificial
dykes or by natural e~mbankments of
sand. On the east coast of England great
changes have teen wrought within a few
hundred years. Where the old maps of
that coast appear incorrect, showing
capes where there are now bays, the
want of accuracy today is not due to any
fault of the maps. The shore line has
greatly changed, and villages and
churches have disappeared, or are now to
be seen under the waves.
The most wonderful thing about all
this is the slender means by which the
power Of the sea is resisted. A layer of
sand of only a few inches thickness,
washed up upon the edge of a marsh,
will bear all the pounding and beating of
the sea in u storm, and be made all the
firmer by what it has to endure. And
yet the same sand, when it is dry, will
drift before the wind like snow, and will
seem as poorly fitted for a breakwater as
would u snow bank.
AL along our Atlantic coast are to be
found beaches like those on the east
coast of England, which rest upon soft
mud. The means for preserving these
are Us simple as the nature of the beaches
themselves. Grasses that will grow in
the sand, and will grow nowhere else,
give the only protection that can be
found, and, in most instances, all the
protection that is needed. The variety
grown is called marum grass in Eng
land. The name evidently means sea
grass.
This grass was constantly sown by the
Dutch on the sand hills which line their
sea shore; and it is altogether likely that
the practice of sowing it was introduced
into England from Holland in very early
times.
There is said to be a widespread notion
among the people of Norfolk that some
penalty attaches to the gathering of
marum grass for any purpose. This
must be a tradition from times when
such avs were in force, for there is no
law providing a penalty at present.
After a great storm, in 1908, commits
sioners were appointed to preserve the
sea banks on the east coast, and it is
likely they made local rules and regula-
tons for the keeping of the grass.
As nature provides very simple means
for holding the water and the sand, 30
the banks are threatened from a quarter
from which danger would hardly be ex-
pected. When the water is low, the rats
pierce the banks with their holes, and
these quickly enlarge in the soft sand so
that a single rat hole may prove the
destruction of miles of em~bankment.
One thing which is not sufficiently
taken into account by those who are in
terested in dyking and retaining
marshes is that the peaty soil, upon
being drained, settles, and brings the
surface much lower than before. Arti-
fetal dykes need to be made with this
result in view.-Youth's Companion.

Thirty years ago, when Marlborough
Honse had not as yet become the abode
of our heir apparent Tor, as Mr.. Bur-
nand called him at the newspaper press
fund dinner l~astiweek, our visible prince,
it was used for a somewhat curious kind
of exhibition. Its chief rooms were filled
with a collection of articles then in every-
day use, which had been gathered in
order to show how utterly ugly and false
to the true principles of art were most of
the common objects of the domestic life
of the period. There were samples of
those terribly gorgeous carpets we then
affected, covered with cabbage like red
roses and other Brobdingnaggian floral
specimens. There were specimens, too,
of the tiger hearth rugs then SC common,
and of the crudely colored wall papers of
the day, together with a number of the
hideously shaped jugs and tasteless crock
cry ware in use. The exhibition was, in
short, a veritable collection of horrors,
though it is satisfactory to know that the
improvement in all directions has been
most unmistakable since it took place.

l think no American can listen to
many courses of lectures in a German
university without becoming convinced
of the superiority of the better class of
American college professors in the art of
instruction. Except in the occasional in
terviews of the seminar, the German
professor has none of hat training which
comes from meeting the intelligent
questions of a clever class. An Amer
lean professor leaEns in the course of a
few years experience to feel the pulse of
his class, as it WERE, and to know in an
instant whether he has made himself
understood. Many of the most famous
German professors, on the other hand,
elaborate with tedious detail the simplest
matters, and sometimes merely hint at
the explanation of real difficulties. They
are for the most part closely confined in
their lectures to what they have care
fully prepared beforehand, and any
occasion to think or to answer on the
spur of the moment is pretty sure to
throw them into confusion. With some
brilliant exceptions, remarkable for their
c%learness, systematic arrangement, and
beauty of language, they pay no atten-
ton TO the ''art of putting things their
style frequently being execrable. morris

Sleeping Sailors and Roust.bouts.

Along all the docks these sweltering
days, when work is slack, sailors and
roustabouts a be seen sprawled in
sleep. They flop down on ~tarpauIins
under he shade of big vessels, on cotton
bales, in h~ogsheads overtipped, on coils
of rope and in all sorts of places. But in
every case they lie in the same attitude.
1t is with the face on the arms.
"Why is it," one was asked.
''More'n likely because there aren't no
posish you can bestow your hulk into
that II give so much rest in such a short
bunkin' spell, said the old sailor man.
''Hain't ye ever notissed how tramps
always sleeps that style by the roadside?
I'll bet you lay that way nine times
outen ten for a short nap, though you
mebbe don't know it. AS l say it's the
restfullest Of ways to bank. Probly
that's one reason all these coves lays that
fashion long the docks, says l. Then
there's another reason. That's flies.

wouldn't Sell His Drunk so Cheap.

Standing in the lobby of u hotel in Ban
gor not long ago l got into conversation
with n gentleman who was representing
a medical apparatus with a long Greek
name. 1t is not my intention to give the
arrangement for vapor baths a puff, but L
do want to describe a rather funny Incl
dent that followed our conversation. My
companion had just been describing to me
how his process would sober off in half an
hour a man on the verge of delirium
tremens, and how many men never
thought of going home to their families
without having recourse to his machine.
While we were talking a man, evidently
very much under the influence of too po-
tent lbations, came in, and, leaning over
the counter, began a rather thick CONVEX
sation with the clerk. We sauntered over,
and soon were on the best of terms with
the devotee of Bacchus. After a while
the man said he wished he could taper off
and go home. Here was an opportunity,
and the machine above referred to was
explained to him. Five minutes later he
had staggered up stairs, and stood ready
to be cured. His coat was already of,
when a drunken idea seized him. ''Shay,
wha err tn cost of a bath?h he asked.
1.-Two dollars" was the reply. 'rWell,
hic, this drunk's cost t'enty dollars, and
no feller's goin' to get it for two dollars.
III keep it first" And he did.-Lewis-

A gentleman of leisure stopped recently
near one of the coffee and pie stands that
abound down town in the neighborhood of
large employing establishments with the
purpose of a~scertaining what the boys and
girls ate and drank at their monday lunch.
So soon as the whistle blew for 70 O'Clock
he found the stands swarmed and more
coming. Many of The boys and girls came
Kettle in hand, which was filed with
either coffee" or milk, and after a light
purchase of pie or cake the lunch was car
r1ed to the shop for consumption. The
milk is necessarily good, as it wouldn't
pay the proprietor of the stand to have it
otherwise, and have an inspector with his
lactometer to discover it. The ''coffee" is
not subject to official suspicion, and there
fore is generally worthy of doubt. The
pies, he fancied, must be good, as they are
supplied by great manufacturers who turn
them out by the thousands and can afford
to put palatable works. of varied in
gradients into them, as by buying fruits
and berries and sugar in big quantities
they get them very cheap. AS to the crust,
it isn't any too rich. The cakes were dry,
and what nourishment the girls that eat
them obtain from the peculiar food is a
puzzle. One accomplished young lady,
who boosted of a thick bang, when ques-
toned on the subject, replied: "Oh, we
soaks 'em." A boy called for a piece of
rhu5arb pie, and washed it down with a
glass of lemonade. He took his lunch
after the style of other gentlemen-those
who ~Patronize down town Delmonico's,
Nash 81 Crooks and the Astor house. He
ate from the counter and called for his
cheek. Possibly he tipped the waiter, too.

tried to, but they looked like a lot if tail

THE peRILs OF DUELlNe.

Lives Saved by Brass ~Buttons-The Most
Dangerous DIs~tance-Close Calculation.
Many duelists owed their lives to the
brass buttons SO much worn in former
DAYS. a case is also reported of a man
who picked up a horseshoe on his way to
a duel, and placed it inside Of his coat
over his heart, for ''luck, " and the bullet
happening to strike there, the horseshoe
saved his life. Another man, a d!stin-
guished French officer, owed his life to
having a 100 franc piece in his waistcoat
pocket, which recalls the story of the
Jester Perpignan, who declared hat he
could never expect to esCap death by
such q device, as he never had so much
rs a five ranc piece to spend, much less
to carry in his pocket as a protection
against bullets.
The question of distance il an impGT-
tant one in estimating the measure of
risk; and singular as it may appear, the
risk is not necessarily increased by short
ening h distance. 1t has been proved
that fifteen long PAGES is the most deadly
distance with the common dueling
pistols. The Iaxt most dangerous
distance is said to be twelve feet;
while at eight PAGES the fire, when
a good aim has been taken, Is almost
sure to be harmless. Mr.. Douglas cites
several instances where five or six shots
were Intellectually exchanged at short
distances. while in nearly all the reported
duels at fifteen PAGES one OF the other Of
the parties was disabled at the first fire.
The professional duelists of old times also
had a knack of so holding the pistol that
a ball would have to pass up the entire
length of the arm before it touched a
vital spot; and one of them-"Fighting
Fitzgerald''-used to protect himself still
further by bending his mead over his
body, and thus reducing his height five
or six inches.
By much practice and observation,
dueling became a matter of such close
calculation that the degree of peril could
always be definitely known; and in many
cases the seconds, who were not SO
bloodthirsty as their principals might be,
fell into the ways of either putting insult
ficient charges of powder into the pistols
or leaving out the bullets. The harmless
termination of many duels In which re
peated shots were exchanged by proficient
marksmen can only be explained on the
theory of such interferencs.-Globe-D Dem

No industry or art can be regarded as

living by it, or when any number of peo-
pie, old or young, find in it amusement.
relaxation or instruction. / have known
many families i'll which the practice of
the minor arts was discouraged under a
mistaken impression that it caused a
waste of time, or induced tastes and
habits which disqualified the young from
forming business habits" This is a
great mistake. All practical arts, how
ever small, induce habits of patience, in
dustry and self control. They form
habits of thinking; for, as men have
composed books while making shoes, SO
others cannot help pursuing trains of
thought while carving, basket making or
setting beads. And it is gradually being
found u and recognized that hand work
of any kind, but more especially that
which interests us, develops the con-
%structive faculties; that is to say, makes
us apt with the fingers and quick at per-
ceiving anything, or at i~nventing or find
ing out ways and means to make or do
anything.
From this point of view, even setting
beads and inlaying with wire may have
their good effects as moral discipline
